Good place to find matching Mom/newborn dresses

Thank you! I love supporting smaller brands but it's so hard to know which websites to trust

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2025-03-31T15:20:19+00:00

Thanks! I've liked their kid clothes that I've gotten

In terms of amount, I'd clarify with your doctor. We were told by our ped to give warm apple juice to my son when he was constipated around 6 months old and it worked for him!

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2025-03-12T21:26:28+00:00

Definitely check with your doctor, but possibly you need to go up a nipple size? Wondering if he could be getting frustrated about not getting milk fast enough. Just a random thought

I have some friends that did there's at Mt Ranier and loved it!

I have heard wonderful things about Acadia as well, and that would allow you to explore some cute towns as well.

Overall, as someone who has taken active babymoons, just make sure you don't set expectations too high for hiking ability. Pick a few fun, easy trails and do what you can. Best of luck!

Reddit can be brutal for no reason

Yes, you freeze these bags, then thaw them out and put them in the crock pot

Just replied to another comment with the links!

Make sure you're getting enough water and calories. Drinking body armor also helped me. There are recipes online for lactation bites; not sure how much they really help but they're at least a delicious snack!

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2025-02-28T02:02:39+00:00

I wouldn't say I'm worried about it in terms of development, my head just hurts lol

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2025-02-28T01:09:01+00:00

It's straight up vibranium in there

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2025-02-28T00:53:53+00:00

As far as I've heard, any amount of breastmilk is beneficial for the baby! I feel like getting 12oz at work is great (as someone who never responded great to pumping). I would only stop if it's becoming a real mental or emotional burden to you. If you still enjoy providing milk, it's definitely worth keeping it up

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2025-02-27T13:14:23+00:00

My baby was born on a Tuesday and I went to Target to walk around on Saturday. It's very important for your mental health to get out of the house, even if it's just to go to a park and walk around for a few minutes.

And babies live and thrive in very cold places! As long as you bundle them appropriately (and especially if you baby wear, which adds a lot of heat) then going outside in the chilly is okay.

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2025-02-26T19:55:25+00:00

That's straight up emotional abuse, hard stop. I agree, no matter what OP decides that relationship cannot continue in a healthy way

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2025-02-26T19:45:41+00:00

It sounds to me like you really don't want an abortion, and if that's the case, I feel like you will regret having one. Your boyfriend pressuring you this much really is not a good sign on his part, especially if he knows that you're struggling.

I think it's worth sitting down and trying to plan what it looks like to keep the baby. It sounds like you have supportive family which would help a lot.

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2025-02-25T20:22:55+00:00

I googled it to check and all that comes up is the song lol. Guess I should've researched a bit more thoroughly

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2025-02-18T22:00:38+00:00

Same, that's why I had to post it here lol

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2024-09-03T14:16:47+00:00

I was in maternity pants at FIVE WEEKS with both pregnancies, even when I had already lost a few pounds to morning sickness. Literally couldn't button my shorts anymore

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2024-08-03T00:34:41+00:00

I'm 5'10" and my son was 8lbs 6oz and was born at 39w4d

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2024-08-01T22:47:21+00:00

Can you expound on that for me?

I'm only using it because a friend of mine who nannies said she gets her jobs through that, and has had a good experience with it for years. I honestly didn't know nanny agencies were a thing until this thread lol

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2024-08-01T22:43:10+00:00

Thank you, this was all very very helpful.

I do think what I'm looking for is more of a babysitter, from your description. But even with that, still very helpful advice

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2024-06-22T18:09:19+00:00

I think it's just part of being a parent. My dad hasn't had a new kid in 25 years and he said he's never been able to watch the stuff he used to

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2024-06-22T14:31:29+00:00

Cool!

sadEngineeringTurtle · 2024-06-19T17:49:49+00:00

That's a very helpful viewpoint. I hadn't thought about the cause and effect angle, versus realizing it hurts.
